When life gets rough, how can I complain?
I got bros in jail, so it could be worse
I put up the bread for my broskis funeral
That was my first time booking a hearse
I sold coke to the white people in the ends
I'm glad that my hood's diverse
I'm writing a verse and my sis told me
That my niece is listening, please don't-

How do I put this pain into words?
Like a bullet from a gun, it burns
Slept on the Bando sofa
And I woke up with spots on my face from germs
I feel betrayed by my girl
You were ungrateful when I gave you the merc
Even though I'm a man I should hide it
I swallow my pride and say that it hurts
I'm lit right now, I got motion
But still need a plan b 'cause tables turn
Negotiation landed at 25M
I'm making the label work
I won't even lie, I put family second
I'm sorry, the money's my main concern
If my funds are low, I get suicidal
So I gotta put paper first

If I don't pay the bills then who will?
Remember I felt like the man
Got train OT, 2 days, got 2 bills
Open my mind I'm feeling limitless
Just like the film, popped 2 pills
It's a full circle moment
I come out the Nike HQ with a shoe deal

I still didn't lose ambition, when the shower never got warm
And the ceiling leaking, the roof was dripping
We can go to the same optician
I'm afraid you won't view man's vision
Me and Ybeeez linked up with Columbia
Still just us on a 2-man mission
If I made a short film and put it on YouTube
It would need viewers discretion
I'm living a movie, I can't press pause
Or fast forward when a scene gets graphic
5% tints on all the whips
I cannot get seen in traffic
Made some p's and left the street
Relieved, but none of my grief did vanish
Me and my girl keep bumping heads
I feel like I'm speaking -

Comè stai, muy bien
What's good, how you been?
I say I'm alright but I'm stressed within
Deep breaths won't help with the mess I'm in
I hope my good deeds outweigh all the fuckery
I'm tryna repent my sins
Already rich still grinding, how greedy
I'm still not content with M's

If I don't pay the bills then who will?
Remember I felt like the man
Got train OT, 2 days, got 2 bills
Open my mind I'm feeling limitless
Just like the film, popped 2 pills
It's a full circle moment
I come out the Nike HQ with a shoe deal
Alright

Single parent household
Living on benefits, council housing tenant
Restraining orders, cemetery visits
Hard drug habits, our life weren't pleasant
Took away our innocence
We don't wanna die, we rely on weapons
Hood ambiance
I'm used to falling asleep to the sound of sirens
So I don't know if I like this change
It's too quiet
You'll always think that the grass is greener
'Til you step foot over there and try it
You could have financial freedom
But the P don't stop people dying
Invest in guns for ends won't help them
War won't stop, the beef's still frying
I'm not riding, I'm the one deciding
Got my brothers for life through right or wrong
I'm standing strong beside him
When you're the one providing
In a yes-man environment, everyone bias
More money, less violence
Time is free but somehow priceless
So watch how you spend it wisely

If I don't pay the bills then who will?
Remember I felt like the man
Got train OT, 2 days, got 2 bills
Open my mind I'm feeling limitless
Just like the film, popped 2 pills
It's a full circle moment
I come out the Nike HQ with a shoe deal
